[@darrelwilson]

Hey party people! Note: This is a legal requirement for all websites. You can use the audit tool as well to adjust certain parts of your website if you choose.Let me know your experience with the plugin in the description below!

Hi I am start learning WordPress development and find you are the best ever best teacher. You explain every point in simple way. Thanku Soo Much for Giving us Amazing tutorial

[@amineunshakable1295]

It seems like you have never left the law firm Darrel and as always your tutorials are very educational and very easy to digest. This skills (I believe strongly) isn’t given to everyone it’s gift and talent

[@XxChunkieMonkeyxX]

Hello Darrel and everyone else watching this video - AccesiBe and other companies claiming AI accessibility are actually not helping the disabled. Haben Girma (Harvard Law’s first DeafBlind Graduate) made a KZbin video laying out the problems with these programs. Please go give it a watch.

What is the video called, I cannot find it.

[@serinadelmar6012]

This is such a big problem especially when people think they’re making everything accessible, and actual fact they are not, and worse companies are profiting from it.

[@timliversage3837]

#accessibewillgetyousued do some research, Accessibe does not solve problems, it just hides them. Overlays like userway and accessibe should not be used. Please do some research and design accessible content from the start of your website. The WCAG isn’t hard to implement. Ask any accessibility pro or someone with disabilities and they’ll tell you how bad accessibe is.

[@CrystalRicotta]

The cost is also not that great 🧐

[@mikewiththecamera]

@@CrystalRicotta The cost is ridiculous

[@WichoChao]

Kudos!! As usual on top of things, thank you so much!!

[@jobestinnab9900]

Wow 😳 I'm so glad I watched this video. Thanks Darrel. I will read about what applies here in Canada 🇨🇦

[@linelightdesigns]

why is it not free if its something thats necessary .. we don't charge a continuous fee to use a ramp after paying for it to be built

[@darrelwilson]

thanks for your comment ! feel free to drop your question in the comments :)

Thanks again bro couple of days back you gave to me your Spanish channel link that is great now I have both channels 😀 Gracias

[@beherenowz]

Adding an "accessibility" plugin is NOT a substitute for building accessibility into your website. Google WCAG 2.1 success Criteria to make sure you are making your site accessible.

[@myopinions1]

Is there any free one's you suggest?

I’m wheelchair user and I would to thank you so much. Greetings from Egypt

[@suman121069]

thank you Darrel very helpfull information.

[@AlexManMe]

I am a blind user, and this company doesn’t make websites accessible to visually impaired visitors. Saying this, I know they are communicating with blind users currently to change this. Until then, I wouldn’t recommend them

[@CrystalRicotta]

Looking at alternatives - what do you recommend

[@jhokeypokey]

Is there a reason why you put the code between the head and the body tags instead of right before the closing tag?

[@MrLendaAAAA]

Thank you very much for this video Darrel, really really important !!

[@martinargimon730]

Excellent Advice Darrel !!! Thanks so much ! Regards martin

[@kellymedia99]

Would this be something that you recommend as part of your maintenance package as a web designer when presenting proposals to clients? You did not really go into the business side of implementing this service.

[@jenniferschanuth823]

Initial set up fee, then maintenance fee. My opinion.

[@eddier.6749]

Thank you so much. People have been talking about it more and more. Just a note: when you add the script like that, won't that disappear when the theme has an update? Maybe a plugin to add to the header?

[@darrelwilson]

yeah it may, sorry maybe i should of mentioned creating a child theme :p

[@bablika782]

Does the funded advertisement make profits or not?

[@eduscopestream]

Thanks Darrel 👍

[@rightpadding]

Really wanting to purchase this for my client but the pricing is steep. And I believe they don't have a pricing for small websites that has only have 10-30 pages.

[@darrelwilson]

You can always add it as an option add-on for your clients it’s really up to them. I would put in your digital contract that you at least offer the service to protect yourself

[@CrystalRicotta]

My competitors are offering a lifetime solution of $700 versus the $49 a month for accessibee.

[@serinadelmar6012]

@@darrelwilson but a lot of these companies don’t make it accessible for people who are actually disabled they are ripping people off and making things harder.

[@andrehacher3737]

Thank you ! Does anyone know whether this plugin is easily translatable ? And what about custom design?

[@MrHashimTechnical]

Great bro

[@subinbabu1121]

Good bro 🔥

[@mechatronicmasters3635]

You are supposed to place the code "before the ending of the body tag". Not before the body tag.

[@paddlaistockholm]

Didn’t it say “before the ending of the BODY-tag”? Maybe it doesn’t matter. Thanks for a great video! 🙂

[@CrystalRicotta]

In your footer - before the end of the body tag 🏷

[@jaroslavbeno2]

Hi Darrel.

[@darrelwilson]

heyyy

[@journey265]

accessabe is NOT accessible. Please do not use it. it creates an overlay but screen readers read the metadata and therefore it is ineffective. Please look into the updated information. Thanks for doing this kind of video though, awareness is important!

[@CrystalRicotta]

Great which one do you like ?

[@Ang-fs4xl]

great video, really informative, but would really appreciate it if you told us its not a free pluglin, so like, us with no money can save time (im doing a page for uni not for irl use)

Hey man, I've watched most of your tutorial on Wordpress. I've been trying to get unlimited web hosting from SiteGround on 'GrowBig' They happens to change it to 2 websites now. I was a bit frustrated that they are doing £60 per month for unlimited hosting. I know you recommended SiteGround but is there any other good, trusted and cheaper version for unlimited web hosting? Thank you 🙏 PS: I'm from Thailand and I saw one of your tutorial video and you mentioned you were in Thailand. Hope you had a great time in Thailand tho! 😊

Such a shame that you're using and promoting accessibe

[@perfecto1701]

I'm a web accessibility developer and I can tell you with certainty that a plugin DOES NOT make a website accessible. In order to make a website truly accessible it must be made accessible from the development stage. Only then will be WCAG compliant. These plugins give people a false idea about accessibility. Take this video down mate!!!

[@pranoykr]

I think the idea of the plugin is to analyze the website for us and suggest the changes need to be done. The plugin doesn't magically fix everything.

[@perfecto1701]

@@pranoykr Not at all mate, it makes people believe you can make a website accessible by merely installing a plugin, I've seen people at work thinking that.

[@pranoykr]

@@perfecto1701 one minute silence for all those who paid annual premium package thinking that the one plugin will automatically fix everything your designer has previously poorly implemented.

How can ordinary people afford the price?

[@darrelwilson]

you dont need to buy it but you can use their analyst tool and audit your website and fix the change yourself

[@RR-ok4wz]

us poors can't, sadly.

[@beherenowz]

Important: This will not make your website accessible. This will not, for example, make your inaccessible dropdown menus that don't implement aria-expanded and collapsed attributes for screenreaders accessible. Your website won't pass WCAG audit by using something like this. AVOID.
